One of my dad’s employees just bought an older Suzuki 850cc bike and wants race. He says he will kill me, but the last time he said that I beat his wagon by two seconds at Cordova. I am just wondering if I have a chance.

i ran a 14.1 at 97 on my first pass, but that was the best of only 2 runs i got in. plus i expect to run low 13's once my car is tuned right and i get some more practice.

My vote is for you to win. I've been on older bikes and they're not that great. It will be close though, just get a good jump

From my research the bike has around 80 horse power and is around 600 lbs

guess i'd better say 14's or 15's... that bike is not putting that much hp out now (unless it's been rebuilt)... you should destroy him...
